This is a helper library that's highly opinionated and fairly tailored to my style of creating Electron.js apps.
It spins up an HTTP server to server HTML/JS/etc files from for the renderer, and creates it's own IPC mechanism that uses web sockets instead of Electron's built in mechanism.
Part of why I created this is because require
ing electron in the renderer process more or less requires that we use
webpack (or some other bundler) in the renderer, which I don't want to do. Mixing TypeScript into this makes it even harder,
so I created this instead.
